Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The mean of a sample is calculated as the sum of all the observed values divided by the number of observations. This value can indeed be any number between the highest and lowest values in the sample, including being equal to the highest, lowest, or any value in between, depending on the distribution of the values in the sample. It is not restricted to being positive, zero, or smaller than the population mean.
